Okay, so you have found your dream home. The sellers have accepted your offer. If you are like most people, this will be one of the single most important and expensive purchases you will ever make. So, you need to ensure that your greatest asset is completely protected. Let's discuss how to do just that.

Since there is always a chance that someone other than the seller has a prior legal right to the property you are buying, title insurance offers you protection, which gives you a peace of mind about your purchase.

Let's face it, ice skating has not traditionally been a mainstream sport in North Texas. Other than the occasional temporary rinks during the winter holidays or the Winter Olympics every four years, most of us don't think of ice skating when we think of recreation. Perhaps it is because we tried it--once--without any instruction and decided there were no "triple salchows" or "hat tricks" in our future. If you were like me on my one-and-only outing, I had looked like Bambi floundering around on the ice. It was not a pretty picture, and my ego was not the only thing bruised.

New data from the Census Bureau shows that Frisco, Texas was the second fastest growing city in the nation beween 2012 and 2013. San Marcos, Texas was number one and Cedar Park, Texas was number 4.

Answers to Your Questions Regarding Appraisals

As a listing agent, one of my primary obligations to a seller is to do everything within my ability to assist them in getting the proper value for their home. Unfortunately, there are times when appraisers may not know a particular market well. While this is not the norm, it does happen. We make it a habit to communicate with the appraiser and to provide them data with respect to the comparable sales we used in pricing the home. We will also ask the seller for a list of all upgrades, etc to evidence the details regarding the home.
